izlng the Auditor Of Public Accounts to

Note Company.
HON. JOHN RANDOLPH TUCKER.
Mr.. Mccormick introduced a resolution
in the Senate requesting President Cleve-
land to appoint Hon. John Randolph
Tucker to the vacancy upon the Supreme
Court Bench of the United States. The
similar resolution was introduced in the
House, but when attention was called to
the fact that Mr.. Tucker had been counse
for the State in the coupon cases before the
Supreme Court and if appointed to the
bench would, according to precedent, de-
cline to sit in cases where he had been
counsel, which would be bad for Virginia
in any new appeal she might take, the re-
solution which wo uld otherwise have been
adopted, was passed by.
BILLS THAT BECAME LAWS.
The Governor has signed the bills incOr-
porating the Sherwood Female Seminary
at Stau nton; Incorporating the town of
Mcdowell in Highland county; authoriz-
ing the County or City School Boards to
sell or exchange public school property,
and repeating the law requiring colored
teachers of the public schools to attend
the Summer Normal at Petersburg.
MONTHLY LICENSE TAXES.
Senate joint resolution repeating for
mer joint resolution requiring that Ii
censes be paid only for the month of May,
was taken up and adopted without dlvis-
ion. This action leaves the license laws,
